On November 9, 2018, Core Molding Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into executive employment agreements (each an “Executive Employment Agreement,” and, collectively, the “Executive Employment Agreements”) with each of John Zimmer, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary and Chief Financial Officer, and Terry O’Donovan, Vice President Marketing and Sales, (each an “Executive,” and, collectively, the “Executives”). Pursuant to the terms of the Executive Employment Agreements, Mr. Zimmer and Mr. O’Donovan are entitled to annual base salaries of $350,000 and $285,000, respectively. In addition to base salary, the Executives are eligible for an annual target bonus pursuant to the Company’s annual profit sharing plan and long term incentive target awards under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan, which awards are subject to annual vesting and ownership requirements. The Executives are also eligible to participate in compensation plans and programs that are available to or for members of the Company’s management, including certain standard benefits such as vacation, sick leave, and life and long and short term disability insurance.

The Executive Employment Agreements continue until terminated by an Executive or the Company. The Executive Employment Agreements may be terminated with or without “Cause” (as defined in the Executive Employment Agreements). In the event an Executive Employment Agreement is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Executive for Good Reason (as such terms are defined in the Executive Employment Agreements), the Executive will be entitled to receive, as severance, (i) accrued but unpaid base salary through the date of termination, (ii) accrued and unused vacation pay, (iii) any earned but unpaid amounts arising under Executive’s participation in the Company’s compensation plans and programs prior to the termination (items (i), (ii) and (iii), collectively, the “Accrued Obligations”), (iv) twelve (12) months of continued compensation and (v) acceleration of any unvested awards under the Company’s bonus or long-term incentive equity plans.

In the event an Executive Employment Agreement is terminated by the Company for Cause, death, disability or by Executive without Good Reason (as such terms are defined in the Executive Employment Agreements) the Executive will be entitled to receive only the Accrued Obligations. The Executive Employment Agreement also includes non-competition and non-solicitation provisions, as well as certain confidentiality covenants.

The description of the Executive Employment Agreement as entered into by each Executive is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the form of Executive Employment Agreement, which has been filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
